Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark makes history against Angel Reese, Atlanta Dream

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever continued their remarkable 2026 campaign Sunday, with the franchise star adding another historic achievement during a victory over Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream. Clark once again demonstrated why she has become one of the WNBA’s premier playmakers, delivering another dominant offensive performance while rewriting the league’s record book.

Clark finished the game with at least 25 points and five assists, marking the 23rd time in her career she has reached those numbers in the same contest. That accomplishment moved her into fifth place on the WNBA’s all-time list for such performances, an extraordinary feat considering she remains in the early stages of her professional career. Her ability to consistently combine elite scoring with high-level playmaking has already placed her alongside some of the greatest guards in league history.

The milestone carried even greater significance because it also extended Clark’s own single-season record. Sunday’s outing marked her 12th game of the season with at least 25 points and five assists, surpassing the standard she had already established earlier in the year. Every standout performance continues to reinforce her reputation as one of the league’s most dynamic offensive players and one of the driving forces behind Indiana’s resurgence.

Clark’s latest performance helped fuel another impressive showing by the Fever offense, which has emerged as one of the most explosive units in the WNBA. Indiana’s balanced attack has flourished around Clark’s ability to create opportunities for both herself and her teammates, making the Fever one of the toughest teams to defend. Her court vision, deep shooting range and command of the offense have transformed Indiana into a legitimate championship contender.
